If you use a script-driven application for your website, any info which both you and the site users generate will be stored within a database - a collection of information, that is structured in cells and tables for simpler reading and writing. The latter is done by using special software known as database management system and one of the most popular ones world-wide is MySQL. A large amount of script apps are created to work with MySQL because it is convenient to use, it performs perfectly on a hosting server and it is universal as it can function with common web programming languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java) and on numerous hosting server Operating Systems (Windows, UNIX, Linux). There are literally thousands of scripts that use MySQL, including very popular ones for instance WordPress, Moodle and Joomla™.
